KOTA KINABALU: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) has emphasised that its priority is the well-being of the community as the state continues to reflect on the loss of Zara Qairina Mahathir.

The party’s secretary-general, Datuk Razali Razi, said its focus is on unity, justice and compassion for the 13-year-old’s family, while electoral matters remain secondary.

On Saturday, some 500 members and supporters gathered at Wisma Muis for a tahlil prayer and Yasin recitation in memory of the late teenager, who passed away earlier this month.

Party president and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor was represented at the event by his vice president, Datuk Mohd Arifin Mohd, with Hajiji sending a message encouraging continued prayers and reflection.

Razali noted that the inquest into Zara’s death will be central to understanding the circumstances, and stressed that support, justice and compassion for the family must guide the response of society.
